Winter getaway
This is year 21 of a winter getaway with friends. We've stayed in many places over the years. The location was ideal for skiing at Mt. Rose. The yard was fantastic play area for kids in the snow and a quick trip to the park for snowshoeing. The indoor pool was a hit and heating it was no problem. The house layout is unique with the bunk room just off the garage so it gets a lot of traffic. The double-single room just has a curtain off the main hall but it was great for a teen. The main bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen is a bit sparsely stocked but we were able to make meals for 12 each night. Overall it was a great trip!

Lovely area convenient to Reno and groceries
Perfect size house for a family of 8 adults and 4 teens. This is the fifth home we have rented together. The layout was great as the kids rooms were away from the adults. Each couple got a king size bed and only one couple had to share a bathroom. There were two separate tables for eating and playing games and plenty of seating for watching TV. We loved the area with beautiful ponderosa pines and access to Galena creek trail right from the house. It was nice to be in nature with only a 20 minute ride from the airport. Even though it was the end of Nov. half our group went up to ski Mt Rose one day, open because they make snow. It also was an easy drive over to Lake Tahoe where we did a beautiful 3 mile hike to monkey rock. The only disappointment was that the pool area was not heated and the room only got up to 60 degrees. The owner did work with us on heating the pool each day for the hours we planned on using it- 84 degrees max so bring rash guards or wetsuits if you are here in the winter. BTW- there is no spa as it says in the listing

Don't Recommend in cold weather
Kitchen is bare bones. Only salt and pepper and an old vegetable oil. No cheese grater, no mixing bowls, ice machine doesn't work, filtered water doesn't work, have to keep pressure on microwave door for it to work. I have never stayed at a VRBO that was so beat up and limited. Patio chairs were old and broken. Pool is heated for about 3 hours so only the first couple steps get warm and then the interior is freezing cold. You literally cannot use it. Heater to pool room is disconnected so you can't use it, and with temperature in the 30-50's it is flat out uncomfortable. The TV in pool room doesn't work, the pool table is up against a wall and the corner of the pool so you can't use it and there's missing balls.
The front step is very loose, two different steps out back are not secured at all. Dirty walls were pictures used to be but all is bare now. Empty beat up shelving everywhere. Toilet in master bathroom runs nonstop and no Kleenex so you have to use rough cheap TP. Just an overall not up kept home. For $1000 a night I feel extremely misled. After reaching out to host, and her assuring us she would get the pool heated (which was again just the first steps because she only turned on heater couple hours before our requested swim time) We ended leaving a day early devestated.

Family Vacation
This property was beautiful, and the attached heated swiming pool area was really a hit with all ages. It is close to shopping and Tahoe as well as Reno. We enjoyed our stay very much. Lots of room to spread out and lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. The hosts were attentive to our needs and working through a few issues with the house.
Joan was exceptionally nice and very responsive to all our conversation and took care of our needs. The house is beautiful and spacious. Enjoyed our stay and will recommend it.

Tranquility
We had such an incredible time! We had a family reunion and could not be more impresssed by the house, location and peacefulness. Plenty of space, close to town and we went on walks with the younger kids and saw deer and rabitts. Great communication with the owner and the property was truly spectacular.

Great place
Overall our stay was nice. The host was very attentive and was able to work through the little snags of the front door code not working the first time, the tricky fireplace in the pool room and the pools temperature adjustment.
The house didn’t have any of the things that made it look so homey in the listing. No pictures on the walls, no books or games. There wasn’t an exercise machine as pictured. The kitchen was pretty bare in terms of utensils we had to go buy a cheese grater and can opener and we also had to purchase firewood. It was great and we would stay there again!
